Saturday, May 05, 2007 Speak out: ‘Imponderables’ By Benjamin R. Ypil 10 B.C. Borces St.Mabolo, Cebu City
Now that we are in the homestretch of the election campaign, let me share with our discerning readers some of the “imponderables” in our Philippine politics.
For example, who would ever think that a reelectionist senator who once stampeded the House as then House Speaker into filing an impeachment complaint against then President Estrada would now cuddle up to him and seek his anointment in the opposition slate?
And who’d ever think that a senatoriable who once unabashedly cried in full view of the television camera when, by sheer tyranny of numbers of the majority in the Senate, then sitting as impeachment court refused to open the second envelope believed to contain incriminating evidence against then President Estrada, would now seek the latter’s blessing in a comeback bid for the Senate?
By the way, this is the same candidate who’d now court the votes of the Cebuanos after claiming to all and sundry she lost miserably in Cebu during her quest for the vice-presidency due to massive cheating, in effect, virtually saying most of us in Cebu are “cheats.”
Maybe, they think our memories are just too short to easily forget their posturing in the past.
